First, some reminders of the expectations of behavior for athletes and parents at the meets:

In accordance to recent changes to the requirement regarding the use of masks by the Municipality of Anchorage, ASAA would like to inform our member schools of requirements for the remaining state tournaments:

For Participants (student-athletes, coaches, etc.) in outdoor activities:

Masks are not required when actively engaged on the pitch, track or field of play.
Athletes choosing to wear a mask will be allowed to do so.

When on the sidelines, bench, in the dugout, warming up or awaiting the start of the event, participants must wear an appropriate face covering. Participants should also maintain six feet social distancing when possible.

For Participants (student-athletes, coaches, etc.) in indoor activities:

Mix Six Volleyball
Masks are required at all times. This includes while actively engaged on the court

Wrestling*
Mask may be removed while actively engaged in a match or on the warm-up mats.

Next, let’s make sure we all get to enjoy these last few weeks of our season. The school nurse has some ideas to prevent being a close contact:

• If they are 18 or older they can receive, Johnson and Johnson vaccine and be full vaccinated in 2 wks after this vaccine.
• If they are 16 or 17 they can start the Pfizer vaccine series which would be great, but they will not be fully vaccinated for this sports season
• They could only socialize with their varsity team mates in person and limit that to practice and all varsity players could make this commitment.
• They can make every attempt to not be a contact in a classroom by being 6 ft away from everyone except their respective varsity or JV team mates.
• They can eat 6 ft from their friends at school.
• They can shrink their in person pod of to their families.
• It is not just having a small pod but also all the people in the pod having limited in person contacts.
